We just came through one of the most tragic events in the life of our church family. The loss of Karlee Byler deeply affected us all, whether we knew her well or not. Yet we also experienced God’s promised comfort and presence in times of loss and trouble. God continues to bring healing to us and glory to himself. What a great God we serve.
I am so proud of our church. The support of the Bylers, one another, and Jim and me are hugely appreciated. It seems that every day I hear praise from the community for our church in caring for this family. And that others have been praying for us.
We will continue to love the Bylers and one another through this. And redouble our efforts to reach children and families who aren’t following Christ yet.
Maybe we never really get over an event like this, but we do get through it. And God can somehow redeem it for us all. I am eager to see how he does that.
